Without question, the play should be to first base. All of the other runners will be leading off and running on contact so they will be closer to their next base then the batter/runner.

Once the out is recorded at first base, no runs will score because the third out will be a force.

Of course, if the ball is hit directly as an infielder and they would easily beat a runner to a bag, they need not throw the ball but simply touch the closest base.

- This is the right answer. If the batter is thrown out at first, the third out is recorded and the run doesn't score, even if the runner at third crosses the plate prior to the actual out

Home plate. They infielder is already facing the catcher and you're risking a run scoring, so you want to get the ball home.

Doesn't matter which side. It should be thrown to the catcher at home plate to stop the scoring run and get the 3rd out!

Throw it to the catcher to keep the other team from scoring.
